BOULDER, COLORADO -- I'm not feeling good today. Oh, I should check for a fever but I'll do that later. Right now I'm just feeling icky with a sore throat, runny nose, and a slight chill.

My boyfriend suggested some lemon tea but I don't have that. What I did have however was a brand new box of the Mandarin Orange Spice tea. I figured, it's a citrus-y flavor so it might do the trick.

I put 3 bags in my coffee pot filter (yes I brew tea in my coffee pot) and poured myself a nice tall glass of it with a couple of bags of splenda.

I just started my second glass. Although I still feel sickish, the tea is really helping sooth my throat.

I started getting this brand frankly because it's one of the cheaper brands at Wegmans - 2-something for a box of it, compared to 5-8 for some of the ritzier brands of tea. But to be honest, some of the flavors really surprised me.

Think this one is going to become my second favorite of theirs. (the fav is the bengal spice, but my throat wanted this one today)
